EIOII IN STEVENSONIANA (Writer's Sufferings in Un-linp- Lovo Affair Recorded in Series of Poems. Tho library of association books and manuscripts colloctcd by Qcortro S. Hell-ma- n and now on vlaw In the Anderson fillrles preparatory to a oalo on No- vember S5 and 2 Is not only Interesting to tho bibliophile but to tho literary work-er- a as well, for It contains much mat- ter of the highest Importance that has hitherto been unpublished. Mr. Hellman, a poet and critic, has also speclallied In business In what are known as \literary remains,\ and to hlra In times past was left tho distribution th. rAfA nnflSAsaions of thft heirs Of 'Thoreau, Hawthorne and John Klske. His inUiuslasm for books and \association\ matter manifested Itself early In life, and he entered to hearltly Into the earn of collecting that ho speedily became a recognlied expert upon autographs and manuscripts. Tho collodion now tq bo dlapersea Is ms personal ono una nni of the most mteresuns items in u wei acquired .by Mr. Hellman during his col-to- te years. The most remarkable feature of It is the Imposing array of Stevonsonlana, which includes orisial manuscripts,, s, poems.\ prefaces, notes, letters and volumes from his library. Much of It has been unpublished, and It seems to touch upon all phases of tho dead writ- er's career. To tho eyes of tho army of Stevenson enthusiasts theso early poems and suggestions for essays and looks will appear quite sacred. To pro- fessionals they appear, oven tho poems, to be largely biographical. Written t Aaro of 16. Tho earliest of all was written when Btevenson was a boy of 16. Then come some ardent poems when Stevenson was In the throes of a lovo affair. Tho titles suggest that tho lovo was an un- happy one: \You Looked So Tempting 'in the l'cw.\ ':I Sit Up Hero at ,\ \I Am as One That Keeps Awake\ and \The Relic Taken. What Avails tho Shrine?\ One Is confirmed In this suspicion by tha succeeding lines upon \Love's Vicissitudes,\ in which the poet declares that love and hope were his companions for a while, but at last Indifference was to sinff \the sweet- est pipe of all\ A surprise Is to find among these papers an unused preface to the \Travels With a Donkey.\ One volume of manuscript contains the result of Stevenson's art studies and anothef Is devoted to the art of writing. It would have seemed aa though everything- In the nay of Stevenson Action had been publ- ished, but there' yet remains In this collection an unknown short story called 'Tho Iteciuse.\ There Is also a preface to \The Master of Callantrae,\ an well as a number of drawings of scenes In tho South Seas, The books from Stevenson's library Include \Pilgrim's Progress,\ which was originally In tho library of Ills grand-'ithe- r. llobert Stevenson There are tho works of many poets, among them Waller, Shenstonc, Akensldc, Isaac Watts, Dryden and Itobert Fergusson. fiteenon always felt peculiarly In sym pathy nun naq os?n iniluenccd by him and at one time thought of dedicating the \Edinburgh edition of his works to Fergusson. Umcraon Manuscripts. The set of Emerson manuscripts. Is announced as tho most extensive set ever offered at public auction. It Includes his poems on \Astraea \Kate \Berrying \Merlin \Etlenne do 1 Boeco,\ \Sur-su- m Corda,\ \Tho Visit,\ \To Eva,\ \Uriel \Compensation \To rthoa\ and The Park.\ There are eight unpub-llahe- d essays of Thoredu here In manu- script; a set of Washington Irving s, also Bald to excel any tho auc- tions hive seen ; a manuscript volumo of Coleridge, Including what Is thought to In a chapter of Coleridge's missing mag- num opus upon tho questions of creat- ion ; a sketch book of William and Rob ert Blake, and manuscripts of works by .Swinburne, Ruskln, .MacDowell, Walt Whitman, Longfellow, Lowell, Byron, Browning and Bryant Another remarkable featuro of this collection Is tho set of seven books, that are supposed to have constituted the library of President Andrew Johnson. Vnttl Johnson was 20 years old ho found reading difficult and did not know how to rlte. It was his wife who taught him the latter accomplishment, but he found himself obliged to study English gram-pa- r even after he had become President ef tha United States. His grammar book, blch he filched from hla granddaughter, It Is Raid, Is among tho seven volumes r.ow offered for sale. Tho others are: The Bible, Ramsay's \Annals of Tennes-tee,- \ \Andrew Johnson, President of the I'nltcd States, 'His Life and Speeches.\ \The Lost Cause Regained,\ by Pollard : \Speeches of Andrew Johnson\ and Buck's Theological Dictionary. With these books are a number of An- drew Johnson's letters, some of them family letters; others political. They were given by his daughter to Mrs. L, C. Ir.t;tord, author of \The Woman of tho White House,\ and, needless to say, are of remarkable Interest to students of civil nar days. \APHRODITE\ IS POSTPONED.

South, Entranr 0 K. 33d Strut, Nw York, ARE YOU REALLY EREE ?, . \Hm-Wm- l\ you say. \Why oi cruise l amj Isn't this the United States ot America?\ Let us consider the mattei.. It is true thai oui counny is one where the largest 'dcgiee or religious, political and individual freedom exists: where eveiy man is free 'to do' any- thing that is not contrary to the laws or his Nation, his neighbor and his State. But arc you PHYSICALLY tree? Can' you climb, run, work, 01 play as'a thoroughly sound human animal should be able to do? Can yaul Of do the Bolshevlki 61 disease oppress , you and rob you cf your constitutional right to lite, liberty, and the pursuit ol happiness? Is that man with the fat stomach free, . when he cannot climb the staits one at a time without puffing? Is thaman hee whoieels tremendously exhausted at the end ot the day and who regrets that he \cannot work the way he Used to\? Is that woman free who is bound down by nervousness and headaches? No ruler over millions, however power- ful, is himself free in the presence of ad- vanced, incurable physical decay. No 'man is absolutely free whose body or mind is yielding, however slightly or insidiously, to infection or poison or pre- ventable strain\ or injury. We have heard men say \I am the cap- tain of my soul.\ Finel But how many can truthfully add: \I am the captain of my body.\ Surely no man carf say this who has never had his body examined or who dis- regards the evidence of the examination after it has been made. . The advice to 'Get Yourself Examined\ is particularly timely. \The World Is Afire.\ We are passing through a world crisis that will make a heavy call on human en- durance and the morale of the entire race. As we view the chaos in Europe and Asia we may truthfully sav that though the great war is finished, the tremendous human upheaval of which it was the ex- pression, has just begun. It is not from such sources that liberty directly comes, but it is in such fires that it is often tested and purified. There' is now need to be healthy in mind and body, to know the tiuth, to hold our faith, to fight all forces than menace the happiness and welfare of our fcllowmen. The first commandment or the Lite Ex- tension Institute is GET YOURSELF \ EXAMINED. We are sometimes astounded at how very little 6ome men and women know abcut their bodies. Even the smatteiing ol physiology they learn at school has been foi gotten. They seem to think the human machine will po on and on forever without care or a perrodic \going over.\ The man who has his body inspected once a year, ju.st as any far-seei- ng manufacturer insists that his machin ery be periodically in- -, spected, is protecting himself against the in- sidious development of disease. And heis thereby tecting himself against needless suffering and worry. As one man put it: \After taking the exam- ination and receiving your reports, I slipt soundly for the first time in months. I knew ex- actly where I stood. In- stead of just worrying about disease, I had sought it out in its lair and taken steps to stamp it out before it was too late. And I found that the very thing I was worrying about wasn't the real trouble at alL\ 17 Be fair'about this question of Health, Tt is cheaper to keep well than it is to get well. Don't wait until you get sick before you, begin thinking about an examination. You go to your dentist periodically \whether your teeth ache or ndt.\ Do tfte same with the entire body. Wait until the pain comes and you may be too late. You must arrive at the station be- fore the train leaves if you want to. catch it. Helping You to Live Longer and Better The Lite Extension Institute was. cstab lished by a group of scientists, publicists, - 3 and business men, who desired to' provide a ng central institution. ol na- tional scope devoted to the science ol in- -' creasing human liappincss.and citicicncy and preventing human miscty and efficiency a' responsible and author r- otative source from which the public.might draw knowledge and inspiration in avoid- ing needless sickness and premature death. A provision has been made for the util- isation ol a substantial portion of the divi- dends in public health 'work, under thd trusteeship ot William Hbw-p- r dTaftand Prolessor Irving Fisher. Two-thir- ds ol the common stock is held in trust by Mr. Talt and Professor Fisher lot this purpose. The Life Extension Institute works hand-in-ha- with the highest ideals of modern, scientific medicine. It is irrev- ocably opposed to fads and quacks and charlatans. ' The'Jnstitute gives appropriate, hy- gienic; guidance and instruction ..to all its 'members, but does not include medical ox surgical treatment in its service. If the impairments found are serious, the mem- ber is told of the need of medical, surgical or dental attention, and is informed of tlie type of '.treatment that would bo most advantageous. The Life Extension Institute has a Hy- giene' Reference Board of one hundred leading scientific men, including the Surgeo- ns-General of the Army (retired) and Navy, and U. S. Public Health Service, several of the American Medical Association, Commissioners of -- Public Health, and others interested in public welfare. A complete list will.be furnished on application.
